course

A free twelve (12) week Amateur Radio Extra Class course will be held at the National Electronics Museum Thursday evenings, from 6:30 – 9:30 p.m., starting Thursday, January 25, 2017. Classes are free, but students must provide their own copy of the current ARRL Extra Class License Manual – 11th Edition.

The course schedule for the rest of the 2015-2016 cycle through June 2016 is expected to have the Extra Class course follow the General Class one now in progress. If time permits in Spring 2016, the Operating Class course (practical applications for Amateur Radio course, no license) will be held.

A free, approximately seven-week licensing course in preparation for the FCC General Class Amateur Radio examination. This course is appropriate for hams who already have a Technician level license.

The FCC no longer requires Morse code ability. The FCC exam will be given on the last night of the class. The class is open to the public, and there are no age restrictions. For information contact Roland Anders (roland.anders@comcast.net).
